Post-Game Wrap-Up: Milwaukee @ Wright State

Player of the Game - Sami Tucker. Tucker collected double-digit rebounds for the second-straight game and added 13 points. She shot 4-of-7, one of just two Panthers to shoot better than 50 percent.

Turning Point - Midpoint of First Half. The Panthers led 19-16, the Wright State went on a 31-5 run to end the first half and effectively put the game away.

Stat That Mattered - Shooting percentage. The Panthers shot 33.3 percent and Wright State was 50 percent. Otherwise, Milwaukee played well. It was the shooting that was the difference.

The Notebook -
Angela Rodriguez now has 64 three-pointers this season, tied for fourth-most in school history … she has also played 1,060 minutes now this season, second-most in school history … Lindsay Laur passed Jen Greger for fourth on UWM’s Division I career scoring list with 1,387 points … she has 501 points this season, the eighth 500-point season in the school Division I history and seventh-most in a season … her double-digit scoring streak was snapped at 18-straight, the fifth-longest streak in school history … 34 three-point tries tied season high (first meeting with WSU) … Milwaukee outrebounded its opponent for 11th-straight game … it had a season-high 20 offensive rebounds for the third time this season … with 11 three-pointers, UWM is up to 203 for the season, the second-most in school history and one back of the record.

Up Next - The Panthers return to Dayton, Ohio, Wednesday to take on the Raiders Wednesday in the league quarterfinals.
